#Nailartsep 11 - Football

Hello all!

I'm a day late on this one, better than the last few. =P

So for the 11th of September, the theme for @californails #Nailartsep is Football.

Just to make things a bit more clear...

In Malaysia, we call this a football.

And, we call this a rugby ball.

Thus my mani looks like this.

So sorry about the horrible lighting >< 

There was no sun so had to make due. 

Really really basic and the pentagons aren't so sharp...I was trying out this new brush I just got from bornprettystore.com.

That's it for this post! XD

Wonder what's next!

Cheers!

#Nailartsep 07 - School

Woo hoo!

It's back to school baby!

Or in my case, back to uni!

XD

So for the 7th of September, the theme was 'School'.

I've done school themed nails before and a lot of nail artists have been doing them recently. Especially with cutepolish's video on it!

This is what I came up with. 

I had the image of an evolving school life.

Like how we used chalkboards before whiteboards and markers.

And how we used paper instead of laptops and computers.

I may not be able to write on a chalkboard or white board again as I move on to work life but I am grateful to have the experience of using them in my life unlike many students now that have not. 

That's it for this mani!

The next mani is due on the 11th so look forward to it!

Cheers!

#Nailartsep 04 - Gold & Teal

Hey nail art lovers!

Sorry this is a few days late but I swear I did it on the right day! 

^^

So as I've said in my previous post, I am currently attempting @californails Nail Art September Challenge on Instagram!

So for the 4th the month, the theme is Gold & Teal.

Frankly speaking, I had no idea what colour Teal is...and I don't I will be able to differentiate Teal from the green colours ><

Anyway, this is what I ended up with!

With my personality, if you said pink & green only then I would only used those colours which gives me a hell of a headache when coming up with designs. 

Which includes other aspects in life with similar situations.

However, I have learnt that it is not necessary to only use these two colours, as long as the main point of the design is of the two colours. 

So, breaking out of my insecurities little by little I used black and white polishes as well as gold and teal in the mani. 

Although, some people do not consider black and white colours.

I hope those with the same problem as I are able to improve.

Gambatte!

That's it for this post! 

I have another mani for the 7th which was 2 days ago.

Sorry for the untimeliness but I seriously assure you that I painted them on the right day!

Miss Ashleigh Supernova Swatch

Yo everyone! 

So this is FINALLY happening!

A swatch on a super cool thermal polish by Miss Ashleigh!
And it's called...

SUPERNOVA!

The polish is deep purple polish with silver glitter and chucks of pink and silver hexagonal glitter pieces WHEN IT'S COLD!

The polish turns blue when the temperature increases. 

Be it from the surrounding temperature or your own body heat!

This is the polish when it is transitioning from one colour to the other.

Here's a collage of the whole thermal polish process!

^^

Here's a video from my instragram @chronosz of the transition.

I seriously love this polish! 

It's so pretty, it doesn't chip like other polishes, it's easy application with the exception of trying to get the glitter onto the nail! 

Besides, it's super fun to look down once in a while to see what colour they are!
Mine are usual blue since I have high body temperature! =P

That's it for this post! 

Cheers!

September...A Month of Challenges...Day 1

Hello all!
It is the 1st of September,

I am currently on Spring break,

Today is my mother's birthday,

and it is the first day of @californails #nailartsept challenge!

The first deems it is time for camo nails!

Camo is short for camouflage...if you didn't already know! XD

This is actually my first time attempting camo nails. 

I don't think it's the best but looks good to me! 

Look forward to more designs yeah!

I've got a really great swatch for you guys which I will upload tonight.

That's it for this post.

Cheers,

Selamat Hari Merdeka!

Hey there! 
So today, the 31st of August is Malaysia's Independence Day!! 
Wooo Hooo!!
*cracked open a bottle of wine*

Anywayz! So this is my mani for this years MERDEKA!

Inspired by the Malaysian flag but was too lazy to draw the star properly...
There's also the problem that I can't draw the star for nuts! ><

I actually painted one last year but it seems that it's not on the blog?
If it is, I can't find it...
Here it is anyway! 

The star is the correct shape but still wrong FYI...
The only reason this years design looks nicer is because I took the time to use striping tape! 

This is how my nails looked with the tape on.

A lot of tape...I know...


Anywayz! That's it for this post!
Happy Birthday Malaysia! 

Cheers,

Sinful Colors Pistache Swatch

Hey strangers! 
Here's another swatch for you.
I bought this the same time as the Sally Hansen Wool Knot polish. 
I love Sinful Colors!
Kinda because it's cheap and the colours are nice ^^
Anywayz...

The name of the polish 'Pistache' is quite fitting. 
It's the perfect shade of a pistachio! =P
I really love this colour.
Like all other Sinful Colors polishes, it takes a couple of layers for a nice opaque coat.

HOWEVER!
I sadly must inform you that this polish 
STAINS!
BAD! 

Was super shocked when I removed this,
I had to look at it from different angles to see whether I was imagining it or not...TT
This is what it looked like after I removed it.

Not really clear in the photo but I assure you it is quite bad...
So paint this polish at your own risk! 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!
